I have built a Windows installer for the latest development code. As before, this will not be protocol compatible with any of the 2.0.x servers. However, there are a handful of 2.99.x servers running at this time. Linux and OSX users can build a client with the source from SVN.

There is an ideas tracker there as well, I think. But generally you'll get better/faster results if you write up the feature you want and submit it as a patch.

However, pasting is already supported for that in the 2.99.x build posted here, at least on Windows. You may have to define the paste key (either do just that one, or reset the defaults) in Options > Input Settings > Change Key Mapping. It defaults to Shift+Insert.

This has probably been said before (hm if I'm not mistaken this has been on 2.x versions too: in low detail, other tanks' treads aren't visible -- they look a bit ghostly.
What is the 'static'/noise in the view of the dark sky for?

Depends on your definition of "latest". Are you talking about the latest SVN trunk, or the latest 2.0.x? It's definitely not compatible with 2.0.x, and it's probably not compatible with the latest SVN trunk (though I haven't tried).
